Thirty years ago Luc Besson was introduced to North American audiences at Toronto with his "Le Dernier combat," a low-budget genre film that suggested a raw talent that might be heard from in festivals in the future. Three decades later, he is arguably the most important European producer, with the "Taken," "Transporter," "Arthur and the Invisible" franchises all under his control. He directs less frequently, and then eclectically ("The Lady" was his previous effort), but has returned with a straight-out commercial effort that, though a French film, is clearly aimed in part at American audiences.

With Robert DeNiro, Michelle Pfeiffer and Tommy Lee Jones starring in this comedy about a family relocated to France in a witness protection program, this came in with a modest result for the weekend, though with an economic $30 million cost and likely stronger results in Europe suggesting a good enough result to satisfy Relativity, whose last release, "Paranoia" a month ago, only managed to gross a little over $7 million despite a wide release. It's nearly double the opening of DeNiro's earlier 2013 release "Big Wedding."

Lost in the details this week is a fact that is amazing - "The Butler" has the highest theater count of any of the films in the top 10, despite being in its fifth week and even though the initial perception was that its appeal might not go that far beyond African-American audiences. Weinstein has managed to make this a crossover success and not only built up interest before opening but sustained it amazingly well since its strong opening.

What comes next: $100 million was thought to be at the high end of expectations, but this now looks like it is on its way to over $125 million.

The moans you heard from parents with young One Direction fans in the household were because of the announcement that in its third weekend Sony was adding 20 minutes of new footage to this concert film, with the hope of early repeat business. The ploy managed to slow the drop for this film - it went down 40% this weekend after nearly 75% last. They didn't change the title to "This Is Really Us," but can that be far behind?

What comes next: This should be its last weekend it in the top 10, but much of the international gross is still to come, and this could approach $100 million before done, a good return on investment.

Another modest drop as Neill Blomkamp's sci-fi/action film continues to hold on better than its opening suggested. It now has reached three times its start, with $100 million looking just out of reach.

What comes next: As often happens with Sony releases even more than other studios, international is likely to pull this into profit, with a $300 million total likely.

Another film helped by aiming at kids with not much competition, this had a minor fall this weekend and is now more than four times its opening weekend, impressive even though children's films tend to hold better. This won't match the series' first film's domestic take of $88 million, but worldwide might match its $237 million total.

What comes next: At this point, likely good enough to justify another entry.
